Rick Schmidt Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Been gathering parts for her again since I found what I think is a 351 in complete enough form to work with. It actually has valve covers and a Carb too but I done pulled em to see if the engine could be saved. I think I have almost everything I need save for a few minor details like the fact I don't have an 87 T bird turbo coupe to steal the rims from. Oh well I can't totally finish this one till the real one is done lol. The body was sent to me in a trade and was accurate except the grille which is a minor fix. The car was a Monogram Cafe Racer and was in great shape when I got it, but some of yall know how that goes lol. The interior will be a close match to my real one which is actually easy since Monogram happen to have a 93 fastback in their lineup lol All I have to do is graft an 82 style dash and console to the 93 tub hehe And yea I know the console is a bit back lol I started the conversion before I recieved the car and didn't realize exactly how the dash set in the tub. Easy fix tho
James Flowers Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Where did you find the 351 motor and what kit did it come from ? Sounds like you real 82 is gone to be nice. Their's a guy I know that swapped the whole interior, dash and all in his. He said it wasn't that hard to due the dash. I just got an 86 GT just have to figure out why it floods the engine with fuel. Fuel injection can be a pain to work on. Looking forward to more of this build.
